[QUOTE="Tenchuu, post: 5908090, member: 85539"] [ooc][s]Here's my logic: - my turn: I am immobilized TENT-enemy, so I ready an action. - enemy turn: he does something, probably moves, ends his turn. I am now no longer immobilized, and the trigger is activated. [/s] Thinking about it more, I don't like the risk of doing this, since he gets to move again, and he might move out of range, or more likely adjacent. So, lets go with the change below. [s]But, I'm cool with however you judge this, BB. You're the boss. If I can't do this,[/s]change the ready as follows: - minor: poised assault - attack: MBA - trigger: enemy moves adjacent - attack: using existing roll, it now becomes: 23 vs AC - damage: using existing roll, it now becomes: 18 damage As an aside, I did find a source that make the original move legal. But I was hoping it was tent-my turn. [/ooc][sblock=readied action FAQ] [URL]http://community.wizards.com/go/thread/view/75882/19686206/Ready_an_Action_FAQ[/URL] [B]Can I ready an action I can't legally perform at the time I ready it? For example, can I ready a move action when I'm immobilized?[/B] Nothing in ready an action block states that the action has to be one you can perform at the time you ready it. Just be careful that you pick a legal trigger and target, see below. Becuase some people seem to have problems with this: before you nerf this or cry that it's combat cheese, you need to consider that a character readying an action is taking a certain amount of risk. There is always the possibility that by the time the readied action is triggered, if the trigger happens at all, battlefield conditions may well have changed such that the readied action is impossible. Readying an action is not a guaranteed way of getting around conditions like immobilized, at best, they offer characters a reasonable shot. [/sblock] [/QUOTE]
